Kent State Screen Printing Workshop

Print With Heart! Hey All... sorry for the long delay. The bad news is I wasn't able to update for a while... the good news is we have been slammed with tons of great new projects. I am putting on a screen printing workshop sponsored by AIGA Kent on Saturday, November, 6th at Kent State University / Kent OH. The image above is the poster that I created for the event and the very poster we will be printing as part of the workshop. Kind of a double purpose piece... a promo for the event and the keepsake you get for participating in the workshop... Hope ya dig it!

The Campfire Tap is ALIVE!

Hello all Akronites and anyone passing through the great Rubber City...
Campfire has teamed up with the fine folks at Mr. Zubs Deli to bring you some extra fine beers from across the globe. The plan of attack will be to find a tasty beer from each state and offer them to you in the order which they entered the union. It works out conveniently as the Dogfish Head Brewery just so happens to be from Delaware, the first state of the union. So head on over to Mr. Zubs and order up a tasty sandwich and nice cold pint of Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA! Yummers!
These are small kegs so get it while supplies last.

ps. we recommend the Uncle Rico!

Square Records Poster 2010

Hello Tigers! I am super psyched about this beast of a poster that I turned out for Dave and all the fine peoples of Square Records. The poster is a tribute to a great store, a great show and to the year of the Tiger! The poster showcases 3 new challenges of printing for me as well...
- Full bleed Tigerface
- Transparent ink
- 3 color registration

I am super happy with the way this came out. It was cool to convert the studio into a jungle for a few days and conquer the three challenges. Pick one up at the show on August 7th at Musica in Akron OH! Thanks again to Square Records for the super fun project!
